’ll agree with you. And I’ll go a step further and say the rest of their albums aren’t bad either.



I'm not a huge KoL fan, but I like them enough. I enjoy a number of tracks off of only by the night and come around sundown. My favorite song of theirs in general is off of sundown, "Pickup Truck." Freaking love that song.

Either you let your justifiable distaste of everything KOL 3rd record and on cloud your judgement, or your taste in music sucks. Those first two records are fantastic. They're not necessarily the best rock music of this century, but it's closer to that than your ridiculous statement.




I think it’s hard for most people to see what they’ve been for over 10 years now and reconcile it with how good they were on those first two albums.

Their first two albums were solid pop rock. but far from the best albums of this century.

If that’s pop rock, point me to some real rock from this century.

I like what I like... I didn't mind the first one, didnt care for the second and don't really know much past that... I dont have an agenda against KoL

There is nothing very memorable about KoL's music... its just decent rock n roll...

And if that is your standard, you may need to question your own taste.. because mine is impeccable! thanks and have a nice day...
